Botch. Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 .wav may be short for "wave", but I'm not 100% sure. Botch "Eccentric language often is symptomatic of peculiar thinking" - George Will www.puddlestone.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenElevenShadows Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 A digitized audio file format for Microsoft Windows that stores sounds as waveforms. I think it's simply short for "waveform", although I wouldn't bet money on it...

Overview The Wave file format is Windows' native file format for storing digital audio data. It has become one of the most widely supported digital audio file formats on the PC due to the popularity of Windows and the huge number of programs written for the platform. Almost every modern program that can open and/or save digital audio supports this file format, making it both extremely useful and a virtual requirement for software developers to understand. The following specification gives a detailed description of the structure and inner workings of this format". So is a Microsoft program? rigth? Jesus Is Coming, Make Music, Get Ready!

Soundscape Studios. Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 So does an .avi actually contain a .wav file, or is it a whole different thing? And what would the bare video track (sans audio) be refferred to (without it being interlaced with an audio file). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 An AVI can be made without audio, but with audio it does contain a wave file as well. The wav can be encoded with a number of compression formats as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
